i think the tax breaks for anyone in those categories need to end as part of a balanced approach and we need to extend the tax cuts for middle-class families in this country. that is what this argument boils down to. the people spoke. republicans need to listen. by the way, again, if they stayed to not touch the rates, but let's get bill loopholes, press them. -- let's get the loopholes, pressed them -- mortgage interest, charitable contributions, state and local taxes -- press them. education, health care -- they receive help -- out through policy decisions. we do not tax health benefits. the affordable care act will begin to above a certain amount, press people. we will dissolve the fiscal cliff if we put the fence on the table. host: sue, pa. on the independent line. caller: i agree with many of the things i have heard you say in your approach is to taxation, but the real reason i'm calling is we are not discussing the elephant in the room. in pennsylvania, 9% of jobs are in manufacturing. that leaves 91% in services like medical, mcdonald's, whatever. only 9% are in manufacturing
